Motel California

<p>Farrah Graham and Jimmy Doubts hosts of the Uncorking a Murder podcast are back in Michael Carlon’s new comedic mystery Motel California.<br /><br />Unlike the song of a similar title the Motel California isn’t a lovely place—a fact that Jimmy learns the hard way when he’s framed for the murder of an outlaw country artist hellbent on distancing himself from his past.<br /><br />Farrah has her own cross to bear as a patent troll has surfaced looking to put an end to Uncorking a Murder unless their outrageous demands can be met. The stakes couldn’t be higher as Jimmy races against the clock to prove his innocence and Farrah fights for their future. <br /><br />Identical twin detectives who incessantly argue about glam rock a sociopathic cowboy with an axe to grind an adult film actress running away from “Silicone Valley” and a mob boss addicted to home improvement television round out the cast of Motel California a tale that could only be told in the backdrop of a city as colorful as LA.<br /><br />Readers who appreciate the vibrant characters of Carl Hiaasen the wit of Jonathan Tropper and the humor of both should check into the Motel California; there’s plenty of room.</p>
